Am I losing my mind? Brand-new stacked Cisco 3650s reporting an IP address overlap where there clearly iisn't one! This eensy little /29 doesn't come close to the lower edge of the /20 space.
This config looks innocent enough:
interface Vlan128
ip address 10.1.128.1 255.255.255.248
!
interface Vlan130
ip address 10.1.130.1 255.255.240.0
But the switch reports an IP address overlap during configuration, and won't accept Vlan130:
Switch#conf t
! defaults, these don't apply, but just covering this base
Switch(config)#ip classless
Switch(config)#ip subnet-zero
Switch(config)#interface Vlan128
Switch(config-if)# ip address 10.1.128.1 255.255.255.248
Switch(config-if)#interface Vlan130
Switch(config-if)# ip address 10.1.130.1 255.255.240.0
% 10.1.128.0 overlaps with Vlan128
If I change the clashing IP address to 10.1.144.1 /20, it's accepted.
This occurs on two new stacks, running:
Cisco 3650 IOS-XE Version 03.07.01E
Cisco 3650 IOS-XE Version 03.03.05SE
Is this a known bug? Have I and numerous other IP calculators completely forgotten how to do IP subnetting ?

It does overlap.
The network for 10.1.130.1 is 10.1.128.0 and the available hosts are 10.1.128.1 -> 143.254 with 10.1.143.255 being the broadcast.
That's also the reason why your 10.1.144.1/20 works because it is the next available network with a 255.255.240.0 mask

aw, crap, of course. Where did the /20 mask on 10.1.130.0 come from?! Some combination of outdated documents and an inability to think.
Very silly, thank you. Duh.
